Location: NZ, N, Wellington
Employment type: Full-time
Industry: Computer Software

Company profile:
Who is Powershop?We operate in an industry dominated by crusty utilities operating at glacial pace and with a fetish for technical jargon and industry complexity. So we created a business with a plan to change the world. Well, a small part of the world anyway. To establish a new electricity retailing business centered around continuous customer orientated innovation. Our strong belief is that disruptive change is the only way this can be achieved.So...we built a shop. A shop where customers can buy power. Simply a Powershop – no less, no more. Well, actually we are a whole lot more! In creating a shop, our aim is to change customer attitudes, and behaviors around electricity use and purchase. We aim to create a new breed of electricity consumer – an engaged consumer – one that is aware, informed and responsive. A consumer that finally knows what they are buying. A consumer that is truly in control of their power.What does Powershop stand for?So what lights our fire?First and foremost we stand for the customer. Yeah, whatever? Heard it all before. No really, we stand for the customer. We provide a shop, and focus on delivering customers excellent service, and enhancing and extending our services to deliver on ever changing customer needs and wants. That said, our focus is on delivering to contemporary shoppers – who value flexibility and choice – through contemporary shopping channels.We also thrive on transparency. This is the pre-requisite to delivering on our commitment to put customers in control of their power. It is also pre-requisite to establishing our credibility and indeed ensuring we are also appropriately disciplined in delivering on customer needs and wants.Finally, simplicity is a must. If buying electricity is not as simple as buying milk we have failed. 

Job description:
Powershop might look like an electricity retailer, but it’s really a tech company in disguise: its entire operations are run by our in-house software. We’re looking for a passionate Devops Software Engineer to join us, working alongside our incredibly good team of devs.We're looking for a smart developer to join our software team to write tools and perform devops tasks. You'll work across software and infrastructure developing the tools and running the tasks that a large team needs. This is the kind of role that we will build around the right person, so exact skills and experience are not what we are looking for. It's more important that you love working on Linux and automating processes and understand Macs and Windows than it is that you shine at a particular language. As a benchmark we think you'll have least 2 years of experience working developing software for Linux but you may have been working in this kind of role since you were punching cards. You may have other skills that will come in handy working with IT support in the office.Here’s why you want to work here:We’ve got a relaxed environment with music, pool table, table tennis, decent coffee, beer and fruit.We’re serious about agile; it’s not a buzzword. We do scrum, small integrated dev/design/test teams, peer code reviews and unit/integration tests because they all make for better software.It’s a stable job in a growing company that refuses to be enterprisey.There’s something for all skill levels to sink their teeth into.You'll spend 10% of your time on your own projects that don't need to relate to our business.Go sit with the CEO if you like; he works 15 metres from your desk.A bit about PowershopWe're the world’s first online shop for electricity. We've worked hard to turn the industry on its head and have built a company that people don't just like but actually love. You don't get to remake electricity retailing from the ground up by employing cynics or clock-watchers. We look for people who give a sht about what they do.Want to know more?Email us at #EMAIL_28c4a4042987ff7b720a2934fd8fcdae4849162973a68acf85598a8eb2e7d83c# and tell us about what makes you excited about your work. Seriously, this is not just some feel-good marketing spiel: we really want to know.
